Ganapati Bappa Moriya
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh .It is an important festival celebrated with joy for ten days. The main dishes or prasadams prepared for Ganesh chaturthi are modaks.. But we prepare some special recipes for this festival..
These are wheat noodles or talikalu handmade at home.. few years back people used to make noodles of thin and thick size with good quality wheat flour at home only. There is a special machine to make this wheat noodles at home.. They used to make in a large quantity during summer. Dry them thoroughly in sun and store for whole year.. But now semya or vermicelli is easily available in market.. Still we prefer to make these wheat noodles at home. If there is no pressing machine, we would make with hands only. Sometimes we prepare two or three days before and dry them, or make it on the festival day and continue with cooking.
Ingredients :
Wheat noodles /talikalu – 200 gms
Jaggery – 250 gms
Milk - 250 ml
Cardamom powder – 1 tsp
Ghee – 5 tbsp
Dry fruits – 6 each
Wash the wheat noodles and take three times the quantity of water in a pressure cooker. Add a spoon of ghee and cook it till done.. Add milk, grated jaggery and cook well. The noodles should be fully cooked and soft. Add cardamom powder and remaining ghee and mix well. Garnish with sliced dry fruits and offer to Lord Ganesh ..
I wish all the readers a Happy Ganesh Chaturthi..
